  Also nonsense.  Comments like the following are completely unprofessional:

  Really?  You honestly expected to post that, and then get a response of "OMFG you're right, our work *is* utter shit!"

  You didn't keep it civil, and simply posted a bug report, or a comment that something specific was broken.  Instead, you posted that your "feelings" were hurt that FreeRADIUS didn't live up to your expectations.

  Such comments are unprofessional and ignorant.  They *deserve* a response of a public spanking.

  A comment of "why haven't you guys converted to C++" *is* asking for free work.

  And for anyone with any competence, the answer is obvious.  Which I guess is why you asked the question...

  Also nonsense.  I don't care that a "my little pony" fan site has tens of developers.  Stay there if you must.

  This is the real heart of the matter.  Our comments are so terrible that you won't bless us further with your presence.

  Really?  For everyone else reading that, I'l just let it sink in for a moment.  What kind of person says such a ludicrous thing?

  I've seen that response many, many, times over the years.  It's always made by some self-important blowhard who knows nothing, understands nothing, and refuses to learn anything.  It's made by someone who's done nothing, but who has grandiose plans.  It's usually accompanied by complaints about how "you guys are unprofessional", and "your project is going to die".

  If your comments were an attempt at contributing, then we can live very well without that help, thanks.

  What a condescending and narcissistic load of bullshit.

  You're claiming moral superiority because (as an analogy), you told me that my personal life mirrors that of Oedipus.  You're claiming that it's just a classical reference, and that it's all above board.

  No, you're the asshole here.  You're just upset that someone caught you being an asshole, and called you out on it.
